TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Time has certainly flown and I find myself presenting my fifth annual report as Chair of the WCPHO. In five years the organisation has grown in both staff and capacity. We have become a diverse organisation providing a wide range of nutritional and mental health services to both patients and practices alongside developing and overseeing clinical programmes within medical practices (as detailed later in the report).
To our dedicated and committed EO, Helen Reriti, our PHO staff, and our health provider teams thank you for all that you do to promote, maintain and restore the health of our community members, often with less than ideal resources.
I would also like to acknowledge my fellow Board members and our Clinical Governance Committee for your ongoing careful stewardship and clinical oversight of the health and wellness initiatives that we administer and/or deliver.
What has not changed in five years is our united view to work towards effecting change within primary health to improve access to services, ensure equity of service provision and remove needless barriers to accessing care. These remain goals of our organisation, the wider health alliance and the people working within these areas.
We have, for now, maintained low cost access to medical services with GP and nurse consults for most costing less than $20.00 and we will continue to advocate for this for our enrolled population. What we have not managed to achieve fully is continuity of care within our provider practices. This has repeatedly been signalled as an ongoing
concern due to the availability and distribution of qualified health professionals.
With the latest seismic shifts in health policy and the outcomes of system reviews I fully believe that our ongoing greatest improvements in health and wellness will come from increased integration and service provision from partners such as Poutini Waiora, NGOs, St John, pharmacies, local body authorities and other community-based entities with a health/wellness focus. This, combined with professionals working in new and diverse scopes of practice, will ensure that together we WILL achieve more!
For and on behalf of the West Coast PHO Board of Trustees

EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
We are often asked about what we do and the purpose of our organisation. We are a primary care network, providing leadership, support and services to general practices, rural clinics and community organisations with the aim of ensuring West Coast people are well and healthy in their own homes and communities. Throughout this report you will see the activities that the PHO has been involved in through valuable partnerships and relationships with many organisations and groups across professions, communities and at the heart of primary care our general practice teams. It is important to take this opportunity to thank some of our key partners in this work, Poutini Waiora, Community and Public Health and the West Coast DHB. Without unity and willingness to work collaboratively we will not be able to realise the ongoing vision of providing accessible, easy to
navigate, culturally appropriate and connected-to-community services.
None of us missed the heartening news of the Government’s recent wellbeing budget, which has a huge focus on wellbeing initiatives being delivered through primary care. Before the announcement of the $1.9 billion lifeline for mental health and wellbeing services over the next five years, the West Coast Health Alliance was already well in progress with numerous areas of service redesign and innovation for the West Coast Mental Health & Addiction Services.
In August 2019 the PHO secured the contract with the WCDHB to provided suicide prevention coordination with a dedicated role based within the PHO mental health team. We believe having this dedicated role will be an effective way to ensure the development, delivery and ongoing evaluation of a robust, effective suicide prevention plan. The role coordinates work not only within primary care but across West Coast communities, other government agencies and community groups to ensure we are supporting wellbeing and responding to people’s needs when and where required.
A key focus for management this year has been to apply the principles of quality improvement across all of our delivered programmes and also
Nau mai, haere mai
Welcome to our 2018/2019 year in review.
This is my sixth report as Executive Officer and my eleventh year with the PHO and I am still coming to work each day feeling inspired and committed to ensuring West Coasters can live healthy lifestyles, having equitable access to health services with equitable outcomes for their health.

internally within the organisation. This has been driven by the PHO’s approved submission to the Health Quality & Safety Commission (HQSC), the Whakakotahi 2018 project. Whakakotahi is a sector-led initiative that develops quality improvement capability in primary care, broadens the reach of primary care and reduces barriers to access. Taking part involves primary care providers partnering with the Commission on small-scale improvement projects of the providers choosing, focusing on an area of patient care they wish to improve. Our improvement project was in partnership with Poutini Waiora and focused on improving clinical outcomes for Māori with diabetes using a collaborative model of care. Lessons learned through this process have been invaluable to all areas of our organisation and general practice teams.
I want to say how appreciative I am to lead such a highly skilled and passionate team. I have welcomed some amazing staff members this year and farewelled others whose paths have led them elsewhere.
I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank my Chair, Julie Kilkelly, and Board members for their governance, strategic influence and stewardship.
To the West Coast community: I challenge you to be the best that you can be by making small lifestyle changes that will have a significant outcome to your health and wellbeing. Be kind to yourself and those around you.
It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

SUBSIDISING ROUTINE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE
This is achieved by passing on the funding for “first level services” to all contracted practices, and “Very Low Cost Access (VLCA) funding” to a subset of practices, so that patients do not have to pay the full cost of their visits to the general practice.
Expenditure $6,207,314 (excl. GST)
All but one West Coast practice have their fees set to the maximum currently permitted under the VLCA scheme. The one non-VLCA practice joined the National Community Services Card (CSC) scheme from January 2019 allowing card holders to pay the same maximum co-payment as VLCA practices.
We aim to improve access to primary health care services by reducing the cost that patients pay each time they visit their medical centre.
Cost of co-payment during 2018-19 for VLCA practices
Children 0-13 FREE
Children 14-17 $12.50
Adults 18+ $18.50

KEEPING PEOPLE HEALTHYExpenditure
The PHO spent $415,414 on the various ‘Keeping People Healthy’ programmes which include Breastfeeding Support, Health Promotion Community Activity, Green Prescription and Nutrition services.
This programme aims to improve breastfeeding rates and to create a supportive breastfeeding environment on the West Coast (because the evidence shows that infants who are NOT breastfed have a higher risk of developing chronic illnesses).
The service is delivered by Breastfeeding Advocates with a combined 0.8 FTE.
Data is now obtained from all providers, whereas previously only Plunket data was available. The following table shows collated West Coast breastfeeding results for this period from all providers.
It is also important to note that the Ministry of Health target for 6 months (65%) is for babies receiving any breastmilk; exclusively, fully or partially breastfed. The results below include those who are exclusively or fully breastfed for 6 week and 3 months. The 6-month result includes babies receiving any breastmilk. The results are shown as an average taken from the results of each quarter.
TARGET GROUP: Childbearing women and their whānau, those in high deprivation areas, young and Māori women.

Breastfeeding Advocates support breastfeeding mums, and provide training to volunteer West Coast women, to develop a support network for breastfeeding families across the Coast. Some of the ways this network of ‘Mum4Mums’ support other breastfeeding mothers is through providing breastfeeding advice, dispelling myths and helping mums overcome common issues that affect breastfeeding. Feedback from some Mum4Mums in 2019 was that they had supported 368 women, locally, nationally and internationally. This is from just some of our Mum4Mums and shows how extensively this network reaches and supports other women.

Being on the course gave me weekly support during my breastfeeding journey, and the clarity to realise the difference between expectations and reality and how powerfully they can impact daily life and self-confidence. Armed with more knowledge I now feel that I’m able to answer people when they comment negatively or question mine or others’ parenting decisions, whereas before I would often shy away or just agree with them to not cause ripples. I think the honesty of what women, and mothers in particular, really experience is hidden for most people. Opening the conversation in such a safe way on the Mum4Mums course has shown me how I can open an honest conversation with friends and other women I meet.
I really enjoyed the M4M training!
I learnt some new information about breast feeding that I didn’t know, the trainer was very helpful and the lessons were informative. I now feel confident that I will be able to help other mums and am looking forward to the next time I get to breast feed as I feel more confident in what to do now.

Our Health Promotion/Community Activity coordinator supported West Coasters and general practice teams in 2018/19 in the areas of cardiovascular risk assessment, screening, immunisation, ‘smoke-free’, oral health, mental health and diabetes campaigns. This included delivering health promotion messages, staging and participating in events, and presenting community awards in recognition of health promotion activities.
Some examples of these types of activities include:
Ý The WCPHO participated in and supported the Kawatiri well-being hui in Westport in November 2018
Ý Valentine cards and appointments were sent to patients from two practices during the February 2019 Heart Month campaign, inviting them to complete their cardiovascular risk assessments. This was targeted at people who had not had their cardiovascular screen
Ý Posters were displayed in Greymouth High School for Smokefree May with ‘becoming and remaining smokefree’ messages promoted through conversations with students during their lunch breaks
Ý Smokefree display at The Warehouse in Greymouth Ý Promoted “gumboot Friday” – for helping get free and

The Melon weight loss programme is an online, self-management support tool designed to help people achieve sustainable weight loss and focus on healthy habits as a path to health. The 16-week programme combines peer support via social media, health coaches and behaviour change tools to build daily habits which result in positive health outcomes. PHO Dietitians provide health coaching to West Coast participants.
The goal of Melon is to enable people within the enrolled population with a BMI >30 to take control of their health by giving them the tools, support, information, motivation and confidence to manage their health through the 16-week programme and then ongoing support through the app for as long as clients choose to use it.
Ý 63 enrolments into Melon
› 7 of whom did not accept the invite
› 47 reached the 16-week mark (some of whom started before 1 July 2018 and are not included in the enrolment numbers); 12 of the 63 enrolments are still within 16 weeks - not yet completed at 30th June 2019
My Health Survey outcome data:
Patients are prompted to complete this survey when they accept the Melon invite and at week 16. This survey aims to extract information about participants’ confidence in their ability to achieve their goals.
There are 8 questions, with each being scored out of 10. Twenty patients completed both surveys at week 0 and week 16. The total average scores for this group are:

Programme participants feedback:
My coach was amazing with non-judgemental support. I felt important to her as if I were her only client.
The flexible time to use the Melon programme along with a coach that is encouraging and clearly supporting and non-judgemental was the most helpful for me.
My coach was fantastic. She was very helpful when I had questions or expressed my frustrations at myself.
Great use of coaching, supportive when needed, available at suitable times.
I don’t think you could improve Melon. My coach was very good. I stick to myself a lot so didn’t participate in the community posts but all the information the coach gave me was very helpful.
Thank you. I feel I’m getting somewhere for the first time in 45 years.
This programme is excellent and my coach was encouraging, helpful and reinforcing all the positives I had achieved.
Thank you for the top coaching – kept me encouraged and reassured and just good to talk it out and be directed to specific resources – which I then did look at. A valuable service. Is great that I can continue in an informal way. Thank you.

Individualised nutritional support for consenting clients is offered in dietetic clinics in Greymouth, Hokitika and Westport. The target group for this programme are those with pre-diabetes, CVD risk of >15% and those who have a BMI > 30 with or without co-morbidities. The service priority areas are for those with BMI > 30 and high need populations. Phone consults are offered to clients who live in South Westland or other rural locations, who would find it difficult to make it into a clinic and for whom the online programme is not suitable.
The aim is to provide professional support that assists West Coasters towards a healthier future, using an evidence-based approach to help them achieve healthy lifestyle and activity goals.
These are interactive group education and self-management days for people with Type 2 diabetes, facilitated by the Dietitians and Diabetes Nurse Educators. Courses are one-off sessions (one initial and one follow up) designed to demystify the condition and support people to live well with diabetes.

The West Coast PHO participated in the Health Quality Safety Commission (HQSC) 2018 Whakakotahi quality improvement initiative.
The West Coast project seeks to recreate the way diabetes, pre-diabetes and high cardiovascular risk care is delivered on the West Coast to improve the patient’s experience of care, their self-management ability and their health outcomes. The project is a collaboration between the West Coast PHO, Poutini Waiora (West Coast Māori provider) and the West Coast DHB. It is being trialled in one general practice in the Westport, focussing on diabetes care for Māori and utilising Kaiarataki and nurse-led services, with medical/specialist support as needed. The aim is to improve access, equity and integration of services for Māori with diabetes, with a quality improvement oversight to ensure that the project meets appropriate quality standards.
Members of the Whakakotahi project team
From March to the end of June 2019, 50% of Māori patients with diabetes (within the project practice) have been supported to complete timely annual and quarterly reviews. Reviews are timed to coincide with patient’s repeat medications and when they are
The number of people with a cholesterol in the desired target range (<4) is 39%, an increase from 34% YTD from the 2017/18 year. It is noted that of those identified with elevated cholesterol (>4), 64% are appropriately medicated on a statin. 68% of people reviewed have good diabetes control and 93% of people have had their retinal screening in the last 2 years.

due for their regular review. Using a whānau ora approach, patients have received holistic care through interdisciplinary case reviews, diabetes education for patients and their whānau, referrals to appropriate health and social services, and wrap-around support to assist them to access these services. This has seen an increase in access to and engagement with services, and a reported improvement in self-management and well-being by many Māori patients who have used this service.
The next step is for the model to be expanded to other West Coast practices and other long-term conditions, to support equity of health outcomes for Māori, Pacific and high need people who are living with long-term conditions.
Living Well with Diabetes courses:
These courses are designed to give people with diabetes the opportunity to engage in small groups, learning about living well with diabetes. Seven ‘Living Well’ courses held, 33 people attended.
Enhanced retinal screening clinics:
These clinics provide a package of care for people whilst attending their retinal screening appointment. Individuals have the opportunity to have relaxed discussions with: a diabetes nurse specialist, Dietitian, mental health counsellor, health promoter and Green Prescription coordinator. Along with health professional advice there are numerous resources available for people with diabetes and their families to take home.

HEALTH CHECKS FOR CLIENTS OF THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENTThis service provides free acute care and general health check-ups for clients of the Corrections Service, many of whom do not have a general practitioner.
This service also provides subsidised prescriptions for these clients via all West Coast community pharmacies.
This programme continues to benefit a small number of high need individuals.
It is pleasing to see an increase in service use from 140 in 2017-18. This is attributed to a collaborative partnership with Poutini Waiora who continue to promote this service at health hui and to users of their service.

This programme supports the continuing education and professional development of staff employed by all member practices. This includes local workshops and study days, video-linked evening education sessions, and funded access to conferences and training opportunities mostly outside of the West Coast.
The CME (Continuing Medical Education) programme for 2018/19 has been highly successful and much of this can be attributed to a closer working relationship with the Rural Learning Centre (RLC) at the West Coast DHB. This has allowed the West Coast PHO and RLC to piggyback training sessions with each other, meaning greater opportunities for more staff to attend sessions.
